I have the good fortune to have Elizabeth as a friend and formerly as a business colleague. I received several “professional life” counseling sessions from Elizabeth who works intuitively and energetically. I find her counsel to be insightful and balanced. The process helped me greatly to identify the important and the [less so] and make better and correct career decisions.

Elizabeth gave me much more than tools to face the challenge of transitioning from a stay at home mom to a working mom. Elizabeth showed me how to believe in myself and for that I am forever grateful.
Liz is a genuinely warm caring compassionate individual who coached me through a difficult time in my life, reentering the work force. She helped me examine, through discussion, visualization and weekly exercises, what being involved in activities outside the home would mean for my family and for me personally. She helped me face my fears and insecurities head on while guiding me on a path of self understanding and acceptance. Ultimately, she helped me see the benefits of change for my family both financially and logistically and on a personal level she helped me open my heart to my own talents & need for independence.
At this point in my life, I feel strong and proud of the life changes I have made. I have Elizabeth Skolnik to thank, wholeheartedly, for supporting me on my journey of self discovery and I hope she will always be in my life, sharing her insights and giving me guidance.

Mid life, professional, and feeling like a ship lost in a gigantic stormy sea, calm and understanding were offered by the strong words of compassion and a centered understanding by a rare and invaluable asset; my personal life coach, Elizabeth.
To say that Elizabeth has been a guiding force, both professionally and personally, is to underestimate her talent for masterfully channeling life’s complexities into a focused version of who and what is important in your life; to revisit the person you want to be; to renew what has been forgotten; to restore your inner spark; to live purposefully, with intent and optimism.
Without judgment, Elizabeth excels in her professional capability to remain objective while guiding and assisting in your own personal journey. Toward mastering the experience that is "your life".

Elizabeth has helped me in a way that no one else has. She is an amazing listener, and really tuned(s) into our sessions. Step by step she coached me through my (bad eating habits) problems. She was able to make every solution crystal clear and easy for me to take on. Elizabeth speaks strait to your heart. She knows how to reach a part of you that you don't even realize exists! She helped me get to my goal in a few short months. I feel lucky to have her as my coach :)

Working with Elizabeth has been very productive. I found Elizabeth to be very skilled at getting to the crux of matters directly, creatively, yet gently.
Liz's methods felt "holistic" to me-- she used all available angles to help raise my awareness about where there were obstacles in achieving my goals. Through a variety of exercises, Liz guided me to new perspectives that proved to be effective in shifting my habits.
It was easy to open up to Elizabeth. She listened without judgment and supported me in noticing stumbling blocks in my own progress. She would follow up with me on specific commitments, causing greater accountability on my part.
Whether it is for delving deeply into an issue or tuning up a weak area, I see myself working with Elizabeth in the months and years to come.

Liz is a very talented and insightful coach who has been enormously helpful with both work and life issues. It was important for me to work with a coach with significant experience in the business world, so she could bring first-hand knowledge to the work-related issues I was facing. Liz has made many valuable suggestions regarding various challenges at work. In addition, she has helped me prioritize work tasks and family commitments, which has resulted in a more successful balancing of the competing demands on my time. Liz possesses a unique combination of real world business experience and insight that makes for an outstanding coach, and I would highly recommend Liz.
